Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comThe leaves on my kaffir lime tree are really sticky and it is dropping sticky goop on the floor.

This article has some good information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/homemade-aphid-control-a-natural-way-to-kill-aphids.htm [1]
And even though it deals primarily with outside plants, aphids remain the same.
Neem oil works, as does soap and water. Use the neem oil according to package directions.

Make sure you break their life cycle.
